Cover

Guidance notes

Your own schedule will show

which parts of this insurance

apply to your car as long as you

have paid the premium.

Please check that this is the

cover you asked for and tell your

insurance adviser if you have any

questions.

Your car will only be covered if you are using it in the way agreed

on your certificate of motor insurance, or any endorsements.

Use in connection with voluntary work by any authorised driver is

permitted by this insurance.

Your car will not be covered while it is being used for any

competition, rally, trial, track day, performance test, race or

speed trial (whether between motor vehicles or otherwise). This

exclusion applies even if the event is not on a public road and

regardless of whether it is authorised by the police or another

relevant authority. Cover is also not provided for your vehicle

being used on derestricted toll roads. Derestricted toll roads are

roads the public can pay to have access to and where speed

restrictions are temporarily or permanently suspended (including

the Nurburgring).

It is important to read your

certificate of motor insurance to

see how you may use your car.

We do not cover certain uses.

Section 3

Page 14: Policy booklet Private car - Markerstudy Group › media › 2130 › private-ca… · insurance may not be valid. 6 Private Car Certificate of motor insurance The legal document

www.zenithmarque.com Private Car 13

What we coverThis section only applies to your car.

We will cover you under this section for damage to your car

(less any excess which applies).

We will also provide cover for damage to your car’s spare parts

and fitted accessories supplied by the manufacturer. You must

keep the spare parts and accessories with your car and their

value must be within the maximum amount we pay.

We will not pay under this section for damage more specifically

covered under sections 5 or 6 of this insurance.

We will (at our option) either:

• repair or replace your car; or

• pay you an amount of cash.

The most we will payIf your car was first registered from new in the United Kingdom,

the most we will pay will be its market value immediately before

the accident or loss (including its spare parts and accessories).

If your car was first registered from new in a country other than

the United Kingdom, and we know about this and have agreed

cover, the most we will pay will be:

• the amount shown on your purchase receipt for your car

(including spare parts and accessories); or

• the market value of the manufacturer’s United Kingdom

model with the nearest equivalent specification (including

spare parts and accessories);

whichever is lower.

If your vehicle is under a lease agreement the most we will pay

is the written down value or the market value whichever is the

lesser.

Giving you a new carIf your car is less than one year old and has covered less than

15,000 miles and you have been the first and only registered

owner, having bought and registered the car in the UK, we will

replace it with one of the same make, model and specification if

it has:

• been totally destroyed; or

• suffered damage covered by the policy and the cost of

repairing it will be more than 60% of the last UK list price

(including car tax and VAT).

Damage to your carSection 4

Guidance notes

Section 4 only applies to

comprehensive insurance, and

covers damage to your car.

The amount we pay may be

different if your vehicle was not

registered in the UK from new.

If your vehicle has been

imported you must tell us when

you arrange cover.

Section 4 continued on the next page.

We can only do this if a replacement car is immediately available

in the UK and anyone else who has an interest in your car (for

example a hire-purchase company) agrees.

If a suitable replacement car is not immediately available in the

UK, the most we will pay is the market value of your car before

the accident or loss (including its spare parts or accessories).

We can only do this if anyone else with an interest in your car

agrees.

Once we have made this payment or provided a replacement,

we will be entitled to take ownership of your car.

Courtesy car provisionFollowing a claim under this section of your policy, you may be

entitled to a courtesy car while your car is being repaired. This

is subject to:

• us agreeing that the claim is covered under your policy;

• the repairs being carried out by one of our approved

repairers; and

• the approved repairer having a car available for you to use.

You will not be entitled to a courtesy car if:

• we cannot repair your car or the cost of repairing your car is

uneconomical or

• your policy does not cover the damage.

The courtesy car will be insured on a comprehensive basis

(including business use if your policy provides this cover) for the

period for which we have agreed you may have the courtesy

car. Only you and those drivers permitted to drive under your

policy will be covered.

You will be required to pay an excess towards any loss or

damage to the courtesy car whilst it is in your possession. The

excess payable by you will not exceed that payable by you

under the terms of your policy.

If we have provided you with a courtesy car and while your car

is being repaired it becomes apparent that we cannot repair

your car or that the cost of repair is uneconomical you must

return the courtesy car within 2 days of us informing you. If you

do not, you will have to pay the hire costs of the courtesy car

after this period.

You will have to pay the hire costs if you keep the courtesy car

for longer than agreed.

Any hire costs which you have to pay may either be deducted

from the settlement we agree to pay you, or added to your

excess.

You will have to pay the running costs of the courtesy car (e.g.

the cost of fuel) and also any fines or penalties incurred by you,

while you are using the car.

Damage to your car (continued)Section 4

If you agree to use one of our

approved repairers you may be

entitled to a courtesy car for the

duration of the repair.

This is subject to availability of

courtesy cars at the repairer and

whether your car can be

repaired.

We will also provide the same cover for loss or damage to your

car’s spare parts and fitted accessories supplied by the

manufacturer. You must keep the spare parts and accessories

with your car and their value must be within the maximum

amount we pay.

We will not pay under this section for loss or damage more

specifically covered under section 6 of this insurance.

We will (at our option) either:

• repair or replace your car; or

• pay you an amount of cash.

Theft of keysIf the keys or key fob for your car are stolen, we will pay the

cost of replacing:

• the keys or key fob;

• the door locks or boot lock (or both); or

We will also pay the cost of re-coding or, if necessary, replacing

any alarm system your car has.

The most we will pay as a result of theft of keys or key fob is

£500 for any one incident.

The most we will payIf your car was first registered from new in the United Kingdom,

the most we will pay will be its market value immediately before

the loss or damage (including its spare parts and accessories).

If your car was first registered from new in a country other than

the United Kingdom, and we know about this and have agreed

cover, the most we will pay will be:

• the amount shown on your purchase receipt for your car

(including spare parts and accessories); or

• the market value of the manufacturer’s United Kingdom

model with the nearest equivalent specification (including

spare parts and accessories);

whichever is lower.

Loss or damage to your car by fire or theft

Section 5

Guidance notes

Under this section we will

provide cover when your car is

stolen, damaged by thieves or

damaged by fire. You will need

to pay the excess shown on

your schedule.

If your car is stolen, we will

assume that it was in average

condition for its age unless you

give us other evidence.

You should make every effort to

protect your car from theft.

Please make sure you keep your

keys safe when you are not

using your car.

The amount we pay may be

different if your vehicle was not

registered in the UK from new.

If your vehicle has been

imported you must tell us at the

time you arrange cover.

Guidance notes

If you agree to use one of our

approved repairers you may be

entitled to a courtesy car for the

duration of the repair.

This is subject to availability of

courtesy cars at the repairer and

whether your car can be

repaired.

16 Private Car www.zenithmarque.com

If your vehicle is under a lease agreement the most we will pay

is the written down value or the market value whichever is the

lesser.

Giving you a new carIf your car is less than one year old and has covered less than

15,000 miles and you have been the first and only registered

owner, having bought and registered the car in the UK, we will

replace it with one of the same make, model and specification if

it has:

• been stolen and not recovered;

• been totally destroyed; or

• suffered damage covered by the policy and the cost of

repairing it will be more than 60% of the last UK list price

(including car tax and VAT).

We can only do this if a replacement car is immediately available

in the UK and anyone else who has an interest in your car (for

example a hire-purchase company) agrees.

If a suitable replacement car is not immediately available in the

UK, the most we will pay is the market value of your car before

the accident or loss (including its spare parts or accessories).

We can only do this if anyone else with an interest in your car

agrees.

Once we have made this payment or provided a replacement,

we will be entitled to take ownership of your car.

Courtesy car provisionFollowing a claim under this section of your policy, you may be

entitled to a courtesy car while your car is being repaired. This

is subject to:

• us agreeing that the claim is covered under your policy;

• the repairs being carried out by one of our approved

repairers; and

• the approved repairer having a car available for you to use.

You will not be entitled to a courtesy car if:

• we cannot repair your car or the cost of repairing your car is

uneconomical or

• your policy does not cover the damage.

The courtesy car will be insured on a comprehensive basis

(including business use if your policy provides this cover) for the

period for which we have agreed you may have the courtesy

car. Only you and those drivers permitted to drive under your

policy will be covered.

You will be required to pay an excess towards any loss or

damage to the courtesy car whilst it is in your possession. The

excess payable by you will not exceed that payable by you

If we have provided you with a courtesy car and while your car

is being repaired it becomes apparent that we cannot repair

your car or that the cost of repair is uneconomical you must

return the courtesy car within 2 days of us informing you. If you

do not, you will have to pay the hire costs of the courtesy car

after this period.

You will have to pay the hire costs if you keep the courtesy car

for longer than agreed.

Any hire costs which you have to pay may either be deducted

from the settlement we agree to pay you, or added to your

excess.

You will have to pay the running costs of the courtesy car (e.g.

the cost of fuel) and also any fines or penalties incurred by you,

while you are using the car.

If nobody makes a claim or notifies us of an incident that may

lead to a claim under your insurance during the insurance period,

we will give you a discount when you renew your insurance. The

discount you will receive will depend on the no-claim bonus

scale we are using when you renew your insurance.

If you make a claim or notify us of an incident that may lead to a

claim in any insurance period, we will reduce the discount you

receive.

If three or more claims are made in any one period of insurance

you will lose all your no-claim bonus.

If more than one car is covered by this insurance, we will assess

each car individually.

Your no-claim bonus will not be affected if you only claim for a

broken windscreen or windows.

You cannot transfer your no-claim bonus to someone else.

Protected no-claim bonus

Depending on certain conditions you may be able to protect

your no-claim bonus if you pay an extra premium. Your no-claim

bonus is only protected if this is shown on your schedule.

If your no-claim bonus is protected we will not reduce it if you

do not make more than two claims during any three years of

insurance. If three or more claims are made during any three-

year period we will reduce the discount you receive.

No-claim bonus

Guidance notes

We will give you a discount

on your premium each year if

you do not make a claim.

If you make a claim and we

cannot recover the amount

we pay, we will reduce the

bonus even if the event was

not your fault.

If you make two or more

claims in one insurance year,

you will lose all your bonus.

Claims for just glass

breakage do not affect your

no-claim bonus.

By paying an extra premium

you can protect your no-

claim bonus. Although your

level of no-claim bonus may

be protected, this does not

mean that your premium will

not be increased if, for

example, your accident or

conviction record justifies

this. Your insurance adviser

can give you more details.

insurance must be completely

true and accurate.

is false or fraudulent.

General conditions continued on the next page.

F If the law in any country to which this insurance applies

obliges us to make a payment which we would not otherwise

have paid, we reserve the right to recover the amount paid

from you or the person, company, partnership or firm that

incurred the liability which made the payment necessary.

G If your car is damaged and a part or accessory cannot be

repaired or replaced, we will only pay you the amount shown

in the manufacturer’s last United Kingdom list price. If we

know that your car is an imported vehicle which we have

agreed to cover, and the damaged part or accessory has

never been available in the United Kingdom, we will only pay

the manufacturer’s last list price in the country your car came

from. We will not pay for the cost of importing any part or

accessory needed to repair your car.

H If your car is under a hire purchase or leasing agreement and

it is damaged and cannot be repaired or replaced, we will

pay the claim to the owner shown in that agreement.

I If there is other insurance in force which covers the same

loss, damage or liability as our insurance, we will only pay

any amount above that provided by the other insurance. This

condition does not make us responsible for any amount we

would not otherwise have paid under any section of this

insurance.

J You must at all times take all reasonable steps to safeguard

your vehicle from loss or damage. You shall maintain your

vehicle in efficient and roadworthy condition and your insurer

shall have, at all times, free access to examine such vehicle.

K If you have an accident, you must take all possible steps to

protect your car and its accessories and contents. If the

damage to your car is covered by this insurance, you must

contact us immediately. We will not pay for any further

damage you cause if you try to drive your car. One of our

approved automotive assessors must inspect your car before

repairs are started. We will not be responsible for the cost of

any new parts or accessories ordered, or repairs carried out,

without our agreement. If we think the repair estimate is

unreasonable, we may negotiate a lower estimate or pay for

any work that may have been done and move your car to

another repairer. We have the right to move your car to a

safe storage place without asking you.

L If we choose, we may arrange for the repairer to use suitable

(possibly recycled) parts and accessories that are made by a

company other than the manufacturer of your car.

M You cannot transfer this insurance to anyone else.

Guidance notes

You must keep your car in a

safe and roadworthy

condition and make every

attempt to protect it from

damage or theft.

If you leave your car, it will

not be covered if you have

not locked and secured it.

This applies even for short

periods, such as in a petrol

station.

N Cancelling during the initial period of cover – ‘Retail’

customers only.

If you have entered into this contract of insurance as a retail

customer, you have a right to cancel this insurance. To do

this, you must tell us or your insurance adviser within 14

days of the start date (or annual renewal date) of your policy

If you choose to cancel the insurance policy during this initial

period of cover, provided you have not made any claims in

the current period of insurance, and you are not going to

make a claim, you will have to pay ‘pro-rata’ rates for the

your insurance adviser and a proportion of any fees charged

by your insurance adviser, sufficient to cover their costs.

O This insurance may also be cancelled in the following

circumstances.

sending seven days’ notice to your last known address

where there is an exceptional or valid reason for doing so.

We will refund the part of your premium which applies to the

period of the insurance you have left.

We will make a deduction for any administration costs we

have incurred.

If we or your insurance adviser cancel this insurance

because you have not paid the full premium no refund will be

given. We will not give a refund if anyone has claimed in the

current insurance period. It is a serious offence under section

143 of the Road Traffic Act 1988 to use, or allow any person

to use a motor vehicle on a road without a valid motor

insurance policy in force.

Exceptional or valid reasons may include but are not limited to:

– You do not pay the premium or an instalment when you

have been notified that an outstanding amount is required

by a specific date.

which could affect your insurance and which have happened

respect of the unexpired term of this insurance to adequately

reflect the alteration in the risk.

you (the insured person) unless we say differently elsewhere

in this document.

S Unless we have agreed otherwise with you, this insurance is

governed by the law applying in the particular country in the

United Kingdom you live in. If there is any dispute over which

law is to apply to this insurance it will be English law. We will

not cover any payments that are awarded by a court in a

country outside of the United Kingdom unless your cover has

been extended to that country under section 11 of this

insurance.

T If your vehicle is lost or damaged and cannot be repaired or

replaced, and the loss or damage is covered by this

insurance, when we settle your claim your vehicle will

become our property. We will not refund any premium for the
